V. Necessity of Food containing Azote for the Nourishment of 
Animals, 
It is a commonly received opinion that sugar, gum, oil, butter, 
and some other similar bodies, which contain no azote, constitute 
" -very nourishing articles of food. ‘This opinion has been put to the 
test of experiment by M. Magendie. A dog was fed upon sugar and
